frames in media

In media, a "frame" is like a single still image that makes up part of a moving picture, such as a video or film. Think of it as a single photograph; when many frames are shown in quick succession—usually at a rate like 24 or 30 frames per second—they create the illusion of motion and continuity. Frames are the fundamental units that capture and display visuals, allowing us to perceive movement and storytelling in videos, movies, and animations.
